Our Pastor

I was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1966 to William and Diane Homan. I was raised in

Hazel Crest, Illinois until age 10. I am the oldest of four siblings, two boys and two

girls: Kari, Cindy and Billy. My family moved to Arcadia CA in 1977 and lived in the

San Gabriel Valley until moving to Mammoth Lakes in 2003. I am now and I have

always been a Missouri Synod Lutheran. I am a fourth generation Missouri Synod

Lutheran.

I graduated from Arcadia High School in 1984. I attended Pasadena City College

for two years before transferring to San Diego State University. I have a Bachelor

of Science degree in Political Science and a minor in Comparative Literature from

San Diego State University. I am in my fourth year of a four-year program called

Specific Ministry at Concordia Seminary Fort Wayne, Indiana. This program is

designed to take a person from the pew to the pulpit in rural areas.

I got married January 20, 2023, at Grace Lutheran Church Bishop, to Bishop

resident Dr. Suzanne Roepke.

I have a 25-year-old daughter named Olivia who works for NBC in social media.

I spent almost twenty years employed by Warner Bros., Sony Pictures, and

Universal Studios. I worked on family programs like Full House, Family Matters,

and Step by Step.

I started my vicarage in October 2020. I was ordained as Pastor on March 12,

2023

I enjoy mountain biking, road biking, hiking, snowboarding, gardening, golfing, and almost any outdoor activity.

I am a lifelong, die-hard Chicago Cubs fan.

I have two dogs, Wrigley and Snoopy.

I am Pastor of Mammoth Lakes Lutheran Church and Grace Lutheran in Bishop.

I am on KSRW weekly on Sunday mornings hosting the Pastors Roundtable with

Pastor Kenton Puls.
